Doll Making Demo

Ever since we moved, I've gotten behind on all my blogs, mostly because for the first few months all I had was dial-up. So I'm playing catch up still.The doll I am currently working on: 

Imbolc Headband

Since it's Imbolc, I started working on leafy headband in shades of green and gold. I can't finish it in one day but at least I am doing something special for Imbolc. Its a glorious sunny day.

Hearts and Postcards

Sorry for the delay in posting. After I moved in October, I was stuck with the dial-up connection from hell. Now I have Broadband, at least temporarily, so I can play blog catch up a bit. My latest creation was these bread dough hearts. I haven't painted them yet, because I'm busy having that nasty cold that's been going around. So I probably won't get them listed on Etsy in time for Valentine's Day, but at least I can show them here.
I also ordered postcards from Zazzle with photos I took in my new yard. You can see them below. Or you can buy them in my Zazzle shop. I love the way they came out. http://www.zazzle.com/sunset_in_lucerne_valley_post_cards-239001604058786630 and http://www.zazzle.com/pinkelephant_jpg_california_postcards-239446698707400693

That's an Ugly Doll

The red box holds the most current doll and supplies.

Felt needle book for holding needles and pins.

I'm working on ugly scary dolls right now in the 'so ugly they're cute' category.   I finished one and started a new one yesterday.

Since I had several packs of needles and was wasting my time sorting through packets, I made this felted needle book for my doll making kit. That way I just take the box to my work area and have everything I need for making a doll.

Mermaid Curtain Finger Knitting

I'm busy making long ropes of finger knitting in shades of sea green, ocean blue, black, and pine green for a puppet theater back drop.

Making Paper Valentines

I spent most of the day designing simple valentine cards for an article. As soon as I'm done with it I'll post it here. Some are suitable to do with your young children. I tried to pick supplies most crafters already have on hand. Granted we all have different stashes of materials, but most of us have paper, glue, scissors, ribbon, and buttons.

I'd like to also design some cards that use stitchery, but I'm not sure when I'll get to it and Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
